Henry L. Pennock, formerly a respec table merclra ofWaynesbn g, (Treece County, and well known in this city, Moved with his family t'u Kansas some months ago, On the 14th inst. he re ,. turned to his former residence, and of course had a sad story to tell his old neighbors, But the Waynesburg the Buchanan organ of that place, reported that the rumors of vio lence and outrage in Kansas were false, and, gave Mr. P. as authority for the statement. We have received the Waynesburg- Eqgle of Saturday, in which we find a letter from Mr. Pen nock, and we make room fer au ex tract; It was written in reply to the Messenger : 1 left my home to visit Pennsylvania, on the Ilth day of Au oust, at which time things appeared to be quiet. The first letter I receive.; from home on My art ival in Pennsylvania,• dated 21st August, and from tine of my daught ers, informed me that her three broth era had been compelled to leave Inane to seek a place of safety, from the bands of Pio-Slavery men, romping about the country and threatening xo diivu out t! , 3 a bnliii,,nists---the name given by them to all wh, do lint agree will, them in endeavoring to 'make Kansas a Slave State. I have received several other letters frnni the feruaies of my and one from my son, in all of which they advise me nut to attempt to return home until the excitement cools thiwn, as is tiici; opinion: I could not be•permitted to reach them by way of the river in safety. 5,00 10,00 These, gentlemen, are a part of the facts in my case.

PENNOCK.. The same paper 'contains a letter written in Kansas, on the 10th Sept., by a daughter of Mr. Pennock, to her friends in Greene county. She writes .1 like a brave woman, and what she says has the stamp of. truth. She says : On the day the Free-State men:were expelled from Leavenworth, your ft ietid Haleman Golden, crio driven out of the place; ifhedbl not cr., they were to hang him. • He left, and went to the Fort. Alter staying there three or Ibur days. he came to our house to stay until the great excitement should " cool down," On the next morning Mr. Bitilicip and li Bob" Roberts„stopped on their•road to Lawrence. .llaletmu joined them ar.d they all started off in high spit it On the Saturday f Blowing, news Came that three dead hondies had been found on Stranger et eek, and one was t ecog nized as 1-lalernan Golden ! This is only report, but from the difterent di rections, in Which we hear it, and all the same way; leads us to believe it is too•true. They had no arms . of any • description., Whoever shot them, did it for the. purpose of robbing, as I know they had money and watches. Th:s is a poor victory. Tire Pro:Slave ry papers will blaze about the •' victo ries won," and half are just as I have add you athese, three. Give them ten to one and they will fight. A delight ful sport lon them to meet a lone man, traveling peacefully alc.ng, to torture him as long as life lasts, and when they have murdered him—coldly rob him of his money, and leave his dead body to the mercy of the hungry wolves. Such things: have been done, and will be done again. No wonder the Free . State party have at last taken up arms against them. 1 have du co brothers, perhaps four, fighting fin their rights, and I hole and pray they may do their Ivor]: well. -- There is no one at home but us women, and we are not afraid of any one but cowards ; brave men do not stoop to acts of vit.: liany. We have no men to do anything for us ; we have to haul water, get, wood, &c. The . crop take care of itself. One of our neighbors, Dr. Trower, had to. leave home or suffer death; he had a-; good crop; he has been gone three weeks, and now, there is n.it one ear .of coin in the fields, or one stack of wheat left. He is- a poor man. How many hundreds have suffered the samo thing ! To 'see hard - labor thus de stroyed, is too much to endure. What will become of them this winter 7 Ali the . Free State men near us had to leave their homes, and families, The' :prti‘SlavOry party have stolen all their horses - ; they will not let any Free State !elks have provisions from Leavenworth and if they did we have no one, Or no way to go fur it. All the folks from Greene county are strong Fremont. (they came strong Democrats.) Fremont would carry Kansas. *.. • s * • Good news ! One of nut neighbors just left - here. Woman is not deal. He was left for dead, but recovered enough to reach Lawrence. • He is now able to talk a little: r hope he may get entirely well to revenge the clued.

I wonder drowoing's an easy deatii,—tir hang razors,—or dog- buttons? 1 111 USE do something certain,— some thing sure and of a fatal tendency, or here will be no counting upon conae- quences. I had reckoned upon the Fifteen Hundred as upon something invinci- I ble. Fifteen Hundred's a great amountof-population. It's a strong family that counts eight members and the heads—ten altogether. Ten goes. into Fifteen- Hundred— ten into fif teen once ind five to carry; into fifty, five times—One Hundred and Fift.Y- Families. That'; quite a village of lamilies=ofiarge families. But when . it comes to adding a eypher,—'noth lug,' you might call it, and nothing it is "over the left," but at the right it's high in the figures of the multiplica tion table,—when it comes to adding a cypher, it counts ten to one—Fif teen Hundred Families to One Hun dred and Fifty. I'll thajdt you for a lass of water. Fifteen Hundred • flies of the size of John Rogers's! A whole family.in the • procession of . the Seventeenth to evezy single man,• child and maiden in the turn out of the Tenth ! Sir, the - extremity .of the times calls for corresponding- action. \Ve must change our tactics. The stylo of stake reared for John Rogeis won't do; we must try another. WO are iu for our platform, I suppose, but I am, afraid we made a bitinder in the ma- Buck-eye's brittle—it won't - stand. The Fifteen Thousa.nd_'s against it: The Fifteen Thousand ain't partial to horse-chestnut. In. the choice between horses they evidently prefer Woolly. The reflection's pain - ful, but it ain!t to be choked off. Mule soup and grasshopper pie seem to be . wholesome dishes, and according to the taste of the.times. We may mourn over the depravity of the national ap 1.-petite, but crape is no correction -grief-is no- tonic. If 'yolks like grass• hopper theyll swallow grasshopper ; and ive can't help it. I have observed . that this season has been unusually abundant in grasshoppers. It is very . generally -remarked upon. - Did you observe how largely bone and sinew was represented in the Pro 'cession 4 Men from the work-shops, m BEING A PRIVATE SPI2TLE TO Till: POST men from farms, men from, the mar- ket house, draymen,, ‘vagnuars, print ers,—all were there, horses, boilers, shirts, looms, printing-presses, carts, miller, and so - on, for six. miles through the programme of Fifteen Hundred Families.

Now the quostiou naturally suggests itself, aro we—you and I-and the Post and such like—are we the Demoaraticparty 1 Ate we the party of the people—the hard-filsted, the muscle-Men, the sweat.' I - ens, the type of men generally, whom James- Buchanan- loves from his soul, • or are we not ? There certainly was d strong indication of gristle in the ranks on the painful occasion consid, ered. Confidentially we must admit it. As an organ you are permitted 'to inddlve in variations---4hat is allowable in or eans, but confidentially we may as well drop the extras, and face-the music in the plain. • In view of the fact, hain't .we been pulling the silk stocking idea a lertle too high. above the kneel Hain't •been kid-glov .ing rather tight Between us and the - Post' I think so. Why, for every manufacturer out there must at least have been a score of operatives. It's me . lanchollY, but it's true. It wouldn't be prudent to insist that the workmen were ctiinpelled . itito the ,muster, as some of our unwary ones have done. Some of those honest fellows might . take it into their heads to resent the ; insult with their fists. Let me tell you that skill and industry are the cap ital which constitute the wealth of their proprieter—a wealth which makes him master of the man under whose lietidship lie operates. You can't keep a brother down who has a sound back-bone to lift him erect, and it's downright charge of imbecility in Drain and holy—•a charge that Pitt.;- burghers are very apt to shake five fingers under d nose for—to utter the insiUuation. It may answer for rig gers, perhaps„but white men common ly experience a biJlio.us attack at such innuendoes which is very likely to prove contagious—being communica ble through the "lives." By the by, harping upon that string, don't it seem d trifle at • odds against • Democratic pretension, that our pahy up here op erates so exclusively and so cordially with the* First Families of Virginia, the cotton lot ds of Mississippi, and the Gentlemen •of Honor of South Carolina, while "from our souls we love the laboring men" in Pennsylva nia ; that we are fellows in council and brothers in war with Upper Ten under the line, who•sing to tie words of" Greasy mechanics, filthy operat.: ives and small-fisted farmers," Mail who loves dm laboring men, our common candidate? Prithee, solve me that. Did you obse•:ve how many young men were in -the Precession? ' I'm afraid of the young men. I regret that we are under the necessity of hav ing young men. Young men havn't lived long enough to have their tastes propeily educated, and are just as apt to enjoy a palate for grasshoppers as anything . else. Between the two meats, they are like to prefer Mule to, Mulatto. Old eate rs have their stom achs trained into more dutiful service. They strain at a gate, Probably; as the maxim has it, and if they don't swal low the . saw-trill they do the planks of its turning out,•at any late. Young men look more to digestion. They have a sharper regard for wholesome. ,They can't see the propriety of throw- . ing aside a white loaf of wheat bread, and taking to corn-dodgers, because old Torn Tinker down street does. Torn sticks to corn because corn was the staple, in the days - Of the Rebellion, and he cultivated a habit for it then which wheat won't. satisfy. I tell you I'm afraid of the young men.

Till then, believe me yours cordially, From the Indianapolis Journal Of the 2fith, A SIGHT FOR BEICHARITES.. We saw a scene in the Union Depot . . yesterday Morning,- that •we think, preached a more, powerful Fremont sermon than all. the - eloquence. of th• stump or the Semite has yet produced. Seated ailing the wall, on a bench, Was a, family of thirteen, the father, mother, and eleven children, weary, dirty, 4; 7 . . titute and Wretched beyond all paral lel in this prosperous city. .'At one end was a well gr own boy of si-xtethn, .without a shirt, his skin blue with the • • cold, - expord, except where . scanty garments of thin and coarse linen coy-. erect, it. He had, been sick, and was wrapped in a coarse coverlet. .Near him sat a young woman, a sister, with - her husband. She was bare-headed and hardly decently covered with rags that had not touched water, apparent ly, since they wore-made. A pale and _puny baby lay 'in- her arms. Three or four little boys sat next,4an-look big, creatures, as - white as 'their little wool hats, except where the dirt gave an appearance of health to the flesh. They were ragged and shivering with eta but they didn't speak nor ci y ail utterly unlike the cheerful ness and vivacity of boys were their silence and quietude, that it made one's licart'ache to see them. One of them once passed his hand caressingly over the face of the little baby which lay in its mother's lap, but there was no smile nor glimmer of aflection in his pale face. The mother was bare-headed, unwashed, and pale, as were all the family. She, like her daughter, nurs ed a little, sickly child that lay noise less, but staring with its round eyes at the crowd of pityidg spectators. A. son, dressed, or rather undressed, like all the rest, sat in the middle,-shiver- big with a chill. He writhed -from side to side, and groaned sometimes; but never spoke. The father, a man of apparently forty-five poets, had wrappeit a small quilt about his shoul ders, and either under the cheering influence of so much greater warmth than the test enjoyed, or because he felt it incumbent on hini as the held . of the family, was the only one that spoke - while we were within hearing. Ile had been driven from was, - he . :aid, by the Buchanan:nen, as so many other : poor settlers have been, and rubbed of every dollar lie had in the world. His cattle had been stolen by Bufhrd's thieves, and he expelled from the Territory because he •would not take arms against the " traitor Lane," - as the Sentinel calls him. He moved from, near Lexiegton, Ky., and his name was Ritchie... They had 'no property, no money, no provisions,' no medicines, though several of themwere sick, almost no clothes. So forlorn - and . wretched a family - we never saw, and they were 'made so by the infamous scoundrels whom the'iA.drninistration hired as "Kansas militia," to oxecuto the Kansas laws. They were one of the productions of Democratic policy. The spectator! contributed liberally tolelp them on their road to Lexing ton.' Mr. David Hays, of the city po lice, exerted himself moat efficirtly on their behalf, and raised some ten or t« elve dollars. Nearly every ituan or boy who approached, leffsome con tribution for them. We saw . sturdy railroad engineers and firemen emp tying their pocket books, news Boys gathering their coppers into a conve nient heap, kind-hearted citizens in. robing bills. Every_ body seemed touched by their silent,upcoreplaining distress. Now and then -we could hear men, saying : " There is . some thing.ihr an old liner to' look at 1" One little gentleman of the Buchanan stripe.' paraded •up and down tho de-. pot with an indignautitrut, wan:Ming. and .curainghitterly, as he would hear some sturdy Frementer say, " Corns up.
